Abstract: An integrated facility to produce either renewable diesel fuel or sustainable aviation fuel, or both renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from carbon dioxide including carbon dioxide that is a byproduct of reacting Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) and hydrogen that produces renewable fuels. HEFA is hydroprocessed to produce a liquid fuel product and may produce water, CO and water, or CO2. Integrated with an eFuels process that produces the hydrogen that is needed in various steps of the integrated process. Renewable or low carbon electricity is used to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyzer. Carbon dioxide is reacted with at least a portion of the hydrogen to produce a stream comprising carbon monoxide with a carbon dioxide conversion per pass of between 50% to 100%, preferably between 60% and 100%, and more preferably between 70% and 100%.

Abstract: An integrated process and system with processes configured to generate liquid fuels, electricity, and heat from carbonaceous fuel sources. The preferred system combines and maximizes the carbon and energy conversion potential and efficiency of the associated components or subsystems to produce a system for the co-production of fuels and electricity from syngas. The process can produce liquid fuels and electricity from carbonaceous feedstock at net thermal energy efficiencies of greater than 40-50%, which are significantly higher than fuel synthesis or electricity generation alone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-carbon eNaphtha. The low-carbon eNaphtha is produced through an electrofuel production process that utilizes a combination of CO2 and low carbon hydrogen. This invention addresses the need for environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-based materials by providing a low-carbon eNaphtha solution. The disclosed low-carbon eNaphtha offers reduced greenhouse gas emissions and serves as a versatile resource for various applications. Its potential uses include but are not limited to fuel for transportation and energy generation, as well as a feedstock for the production of plastic precursors and other chemical compounds. The low-carbon eNaphtha represents a significant step towards achieving a sustainable and low-carbon future.

Abstract: A method for modeling light transport through a scattering medium prior to being incident on a detector and a corresponding system is disclosed. The method determines the effects of scattering and absorption caused by particles as a function of the density, size, and refractive index of the particles, as well as the wavelength of the light source. Based on the determined scattering and absorption coefficients, the signal incident on the detector may be calculated. The calculation may also be inverted such that based upon the detected signal, an object may be detected, and its location in the scattering medium may be estimated.

Abstract: Wall framing bracket (10) for securing a header (12) to a stud (14). The bracket (10) includes aback-plate (16) configured to be secured to the stud (14), and opposed sides (18, 20) extending from the back-plate (16). The sides (18, 20) are spaced apart to allow arranging against, and fixing to, opposed surfaces (22, 24) of the header (12). One of the sides (18) defines an opening (26) to allow access to the other side (20) to secure one or more fasteners (28) therethrough and into the header (12). Wall framing assembly (100) including the bracket (10) is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes compositions for reducing hypergranulation tissue and methods of their use. The compositions comprise bacitracin, polymyxin b, and triamcinolone.

Abstract: A method of forming a micro-lensed fiber optic plate. The method includes obtaining a fiber optic plate that has a plurality of fibers arranged in parallel. A first end of a fiber of the plurality of fibers can have a first numerical aperture. The fiber of the plurality of fibers includes a core material running along a length of the fiber that is circumscribed by a layer of cladding material. The method also includes creating a lensed surface at a second end of the fiber of the plurality of fibers. The second end is opposite the first end. The lensed surface of the fiber of the plurality of fibers can have a second numerical aperture that is different from the first numerical aperture.

Abstract: A voice record integrator receives information to be acknowledged by a user such as a statement of facts, an electronic document, or other record. The system creates a document identifier that may be used to identify the information being acknowledged and uses the document identifier to present a voice script for the user to read. The system records the user reading the voice script and creates a voice record. The voice record may be stored and later used to verify the user's acknowledgement of the statement of facts, electronic document, or other record.

Abstract: A method of reducing heat produced by an internal combustion engine in a motorcycle. The method includes supplying fuel pulses to a combustion chamber at least once per engine cycle (consecutive engine cycles defining a series of consecutive fuel pulses), operating the motorcycle at a low speed condition, and withholding at least a portion of at least one fuel pulse from at least one subsequent engine cycle to the combustion chamber when operating the motorcycle at the low speed condition.

Abstract: A voice signature system includes a data store, an interface code segment operable to receive identification of information to be signed and a phone number, and a signature process code segment operable to place an outbound telephone call to the phone number and capture a voice recording.
